THE CROPS.

The Kansas Farmer has collected for
this weeks issue reports from all sections
of the state on the condition of crops, in
Guiding those in the more recently settled
counties. A summarizing of these shows
that wheat is all harvested. In a few To-
calities it was very good, the yield and
quality being fully up to the best wheat
years In other places it was very poor,
some fields being plowed up for other
crops. On the whole the wheat crop of
the state will not exceed 20 per cent of
that harvested three years ago. Oats
Jared better than wheat and will thresh
out, perhaps, one-fourth an average crop.
The causes assigned by correspondents
for the shortage in these two crops are
the drouth last fall and spring, and chinch
bugs. Corn is reported good In every
part of the state. The acreage exceeds
that of any former year by at least % per
cent eff the season is favorable to the
end Kansas will raise this year $4,000, 600
bushels of corn. This year is little COM
p laining of dry weather. Rain has been

All the grass crops are growing
well and stock is in good plight. Apples and
cherries show fairly well and there are
some peaches A great many fruit trees
ave been set out in the new counties. AL
together the state is in good condition" It
is probably Just as well to say in this con-
nection that there are numerous localities |
" here chinch bugs have been almost ruin,

GIVE THE CLERKS A REST.

The clerks of this city are now agitating
the subject of closing the stores at an
earlier hour: The following from an ex-
change is to the point: THE subject of
early closing is again being agitated
Clerks in the retail stores all over the land
are organizing in united effort to harmon
ize the merchants and their customers with
the movement for closing the stores at 6
O. clock during the hot summer months,
and we wish them success
The life of the average merchant is a
severe trial upon his character. Surround
ed by selfishness and the keenest compe-
tition, his integrity is subjected to the Sc
V crest tests, but this does not justify him
in sacrificing health by devoting all his
waking hours to business. The man that,
by excess, by working too many hours In
the day, and continued infractions of
natures unchanging laws, will, sooner or
later, fall by the wayside. The man that
observes these natural laws is made strong
and clear headed; he survives the struggle
and marches on with firm step in the army
of the successful.

INSPIRATION.

The famous speech of Abraham Lincoln
at Gettysburg is by great many people
considered very remarkable production,
When an orator succeeds in delivering a
speech, considered peculiarly ennobling or
grand. great many people are always
ready to believe the words were sort of
inspiration. That they were produced in
the mind Of the speaker without his scarce
ly knowing how. Consequently when the
several stories have been given to the pub
lie going to show that Mr.. Lincolns ia
nous speech at Gettysburg was hastily
written and without any previous thought
on the subject is readily believed by great
many people. Considering the circum,
stances, Mr. Lincoln's Springfield speech
delivered before the Republican convention
of Illinois on the occasion of his being
nominated for the United
States Senate, is but little
less remarkable than the Gettysburg pro
duction. \ great many people thought
the Springfield speech was an impromp,u
effort. 1t was however known by many
politicians in Illinois that his speech on
that occasion WAS prepared with great care
His questions submitted TO Douglas at
Freeport, which went so far TO divide
the Democratic party not only received his
careful consideration but was submitted TO
his political advisers. We do not doubt
that some of the parties who claim to have
seen Mr.. Lincoln HASTILY write his Getys-
burg speech may have done 50. But they
could not possibly know how much
thought he had given to the subject.
He may have taken notes before and
studied his subject thoroughly He may
have repeated his speech in his mind, time
and again, and at last only wrote 1t lest
some part might slip his memory at the
time of delivery. We think there are very
few people who were acquainted with
Mr.. Lincoln, who will believe his Gettys-
burg speech was an impromp,u effort His
very training and education was against
such thing. Mr.. Lincoln was an able
lawyer; and able lawyers are not in the
habit of making speeches. upon which not
unfrequently depend great interests with
out preparation.

FOURTH OF JULY UTTERANCES.

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, in Fourth
of July celebration at Saybrook, scared in
the.followipg style toa very respectable
height: 1.-THE growth and prosperity OF
our nation is marvellous, and we are the
richest nation almost in the world. The
wealth of the United States is reported at
$47, Ats, 900, 600; the wealth of Great Brit
ain, $43, 600, 600, 600; France, $40, 800, 900,
600; Germany, $S1 ,S15, 900, 900; Russia,
$21, Tia, 600, 0OO Austria, $1S.065, 600, 900;
and, Notwithstanding the terrible war
through which this country passed SO re-
Gently, there is not one of these nations /
have named that does not owe more and
has less to pay 1t with than the United
States"
This is good country to come to, for q
surety, but We did not observe that the SEN
ator invited all the world to come and help
to enjoy this wonderful land, as it has been
the custom for orators to do ever since the
spread eagle oratiou came to be feature of
the national celebration. On the contrary
he took the common ground of statesmen
of this day upon the subject. He said:
This country has been called the land of
the free and the asylum of the oppressed.
So it has been, SO it is now; but it is not
and should not be allowed to be the dump |
ing ground for all the paupers and crimi- |
nals of other lands. The time has come |
Hhen the bars of our country should be
put up and fastened against such impo-
'ition. 1t should have been done before |
low. We invite all to come with hon
st purposes to be law:abiding citi-
ems who can care for themselves and
will labor for the upbuilding of good gov
